Maybe you guys can shed some light

I've heard that hydro produces most buds but soil produces best taste. Cant be much difference though.

hydro is supposedly faster, and denser buds ... but, Im just an ol' dirt farmer ... :smokin:

this si what i heard also but then again i have come across articles that have went against this. I personally feel that you have a better environment with hydro seeing that you control everything and as long as you fon't f*uck up then it's like plant heaven, with soil you have more leway i guess you can mess up and still keep the plant alive or the changes won't take effect as quickly as hydro would, if someone sees knows or hears from Mobay then tell him to come over and give his insight along with any other "wise" men

this topic is dwindling that fast?

when i grew hydro, the plants grew fast, really fast. if you make a mistake with hydro you can correct it right on the spot. say for instance you added to much nutes, you can remove all the water from the res and start over again, 5 mins tops. you can also controll your ph inside the res, if to high ph down to low ph up. growing hydro is the shit, the only reason i didnt grow hydro this time is cause i didnt feel like hauling 10 gallons of water up to the attic every week. but in the winter time i will be growing inside of my shed outside. where i have a waterhose right there.

now with the soil grow, this is my 1st harvest so the smoke i dont know , until 4-6 more days. i made a mistake on not checking my ph on my last feeding and the plants started curling up. so i gave it some flush and the next day they are looking fine. in soil grow i cant check to see my root growth, its amazing to see that in hydro. but all in all hydro kicks ass.

Soil can yield about as much and the buds taste better in my opinion(IT depends on what nutes are used in hydro) Organics give it that great sweet flavor in the soil. So if you use a hydro organic nutrient you can have the best of both worlds. But the soil makes it better,I think. Hydro tastes like water or burns wierd if grown wrong. So you can not screw up with hydro.
You basicly just have to be able to control the ph and the ppm of the water everyday.If you can do this and get your system dialed in. The bud will be decent. I think Soil is better. Just look at how many ppl grow in it.^^^
I found a killer organic nutrient regiment.

I use Pure Blend Pro Bloom for soil, and Budswel. Super fat buds and killer sweet organic smell and flavor.
I also add superthrive (1/4 teaspoon every week or two)
If you use a Reverse Osmosis filter you need to add Cal/Mag.

The Budswel smelsl like raw sewage, so you know it's good.

I was told organics don't work well in hydro.
So till I find an organic nutrient that works with aeroponic's. I would never grow hydro. Don't want to give up that flavor!
And the yield is great if you ask me. If you have enough light and co2. They will be huge in soil.
It's the Sea Bird and Bat Guano in the nutrients that makes it taste so good.

yes i mean i agree plants were ment to grow in the soil but i still havn't seen anyone with scientific evident that supports either one, does anyone have any, i mean no offense Mobay that grow could be a rarity as well as some peoples flavors in soil but is there anything saying that plants would gorw better in one compared to the other if the both environments were at their optimum?
Just wondering
